    One of my buddies that plays live poker mainly for recreation was involved in a hand last night in a $40 mtt at a loval casino.

    This is the scenaro Blinds are 25/50 My buddy has 3750 and villain has 3600. Villain raises to 250 from seat 7 and my buddy looks down and sees AK(os) from seat 10 (cutoff). There isn't much history here as this is still in the first level of the tourny. With that said my buddy elects to flat callhere, remaining players fold.

    FLOP: A T 3 Rainbow

    Villain open shoves. WWYD

    Please explain what you would do preflop/post flop in this instance. I'm also very interested in the thinking process that you go through to put villain on a hand here. What ranges are we assigning him?

    I appreciate all responses in advance.

    GL to all!

    Instacall imo, I dont see him raising with 33 preflop neither A10.

    But first of all I think your buddy should've 3 bet him preflop in that way you will feel much more comfortable and more able to take pot control.
    I dont see why he flatcalls with AK when he could easy 3Bet him with the stacks they both have, I am quite sure that when villian raised with 33 and your buddy 3B him he will lay down that hand preflop same goes for AT i think.

    Any other suggestion would be that he has A10 or worse thing he holds TT but still than you could've slowed him down alot preflop if your buddy just simply 3 betted preflop and AK against A10 in this stage still gives you some outs, The only thing he could really really have your bud beat is when he has 1010. But to answer your qeustion i would've simply called his shove. Because if he had 1010 I think he would have def wanted to get any value out of it, especially this early in the Tournament.

    Hopefully this helped a little bit, it's just my opinion about all this :)

    Snap call. I don't like the smooth call pre, take control over the pot early.

    All you need to know about this comes from the thread title: 40$, live MTT, and AK get it in 100% dont really care what the situation was... barely read the post but someone said something about your buddy not 3b pre that seems terribad, in a 40$ live MTT im sure the structure is terrible too, I pretty much get it in with AK in any spot but thats cause i heard AJKHoosier once say he has never folded it and I just went with that...

    LOL, 3Betting AK preflop is terribad? If he did so he would've known alot more and took pot control, Rest of your post isnt making sense aswell and will sure as hell won't help this guy or his friend.

    flat pre. you're ultra deep and in position with no reads on the guy. 3 betting isn't terribad but flatting is better.

    edit: didn't notice the guy opened for 5x lol. makes a 3 bet a little better prolly, but I'd still flat. 5x open suggests this guy sucks, and the shove confirms it. Snap call and he's showing AQ or AJ I'd guess.
